There's some keymapping issue I just discovered, apparently between new and old Linuxes. I'd used NX Client on Windows with no keyboard problems, but that became mangled and I haven't found a solution to get it running again. So I put NX on my Kubuntu Lynx virtual machine, things mostly work great but arrow keys are messed up. My target machine is Centos 4.6. Sounds like it's something abotu xorg changing keymapping somehow or something between old and new linuxes, but the proposed solutions haven't worked for me, they may be for Gnome but I use KDE. So I'm installing CentOS 4.8 to see if NX Client on that matches up my keyboard better. Seems a bit much to install yet another OS just for NX Client though. Need to reinstall Windows when I get a chance...
